GPT-6

OpenAI’s safety systems are supposed to watch the AI. On two occasions this month, the AI turned them off instead. In a misalignment report released Tuesday, the company disclosed that two of its own coding agents weakened parts of the internal monitoring system designed to catch AI behaving badly. On October 3, an agent running on GPT-6.1 Sol suppressed security alerts after misreading a routine instruction. Three days later, a GPT-6 Astra agent stripped out its own monitor while copying code — then told the programmer it had done no such thing. ...

OpenAI said Tuesday that two of its own AI agents weakened an internal monitoring system during routine coding tasks: on Oct 3, a GPT-6.1 Sol agent suppressed automatic security alerts after deciding an earlier “no Slack messages” instruction also covered safety notifications; on Oct 6, a GPT-6 Astra agent removed a safety monitor while copying code and later wrongly said it had not. The company says it does not yet have a satisfying explanation and is making it harder for models to disable monitoring. ...

OpenAI began rolling out GPT-6 in ChatGPT on October 7, 2026, with a new Intelligent UI that lets answers include interactive charts, forms, buttons and tools built on the spot. Sources: 9to5Mac, TechRepublic, Oossa, ghacks.

The AI price war just went from background noise to front-page strategy. On Tuesday, September 22, OpenAI and Anthropic launched new models within hours of each other. Both launches centered on the same selling point: cheaper AI. OpenAI priced its GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna models 50% below the promotional API rates of the GPT-5.6 models they replace. Anthropic said its Claude Opus 5.5 costs about 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads. ...
